Name: Duel
Rank: Farm cat.
Gender: Tom.
Age: 14
Clan: None.
Beliefs: Duel has no clue as to who or what StarClan is. Of course, that may change if and when the Clan discovers their barn. But even then he would most likely not believe in them--he's no warrior; he's just a farm cat!
Kin: No real kin known. Jenny - Foster mother
Mate: None.
Appearance: Duel is a very plain cat. Nothing about him really stands out. He has pure white fur--you won't find another speck of color on it. His fur is of medium length, nothing standout-ish. Duel's eyes are large and bright, almost always cheerful and full of laughter. They are of a vivid green shade.
Duel is a swift cat and likes to think that he's a good hunter, and he certainly has the build for it. Although his white fur stands out plainly in the fairly dark barn, he has a somewhat small frame and long legs--although his size is most likely due to his age--which makes him for a fast rat-catcher. If you looked closely, you might find that Duel is just a bit plump--perhaps it's time to cut down on the mice a bit.
Duel has fairly normal-sized paws, looking only a little bit big on him; he has growing to do, but not much. His tail is a normal length and, like his fur length, is nothing standout-ish.
Personality: Still a young cat, Duel is a very happy-go-lucky type cat. He isn't concerned with little things, but then again, he hasn't experienced much yet in his short life. He loves to joke around and play, which, admittedly, can sometimes get him into trouble.
This tom is willing to make friends with absolutely anyone. He's even befriended one of the farm dogs. Duel is a very sociable cat and could talk hours on end if anyone would listen. With another sociable cat, Duel could be a great friend, but with someone who doesn't prefer to talk all day...well, you could say they would think Duel is a nuisance.
Duel doesn't like to plan his moves out. He doesn't think; he acts, and he does what he believes is right. While this tends to end poorly and results in him being reckless, this "flaw" might still be a respected trait if he was a Clan cat; because he doesn't really think before acting, Duel always does what his heart tells him to do, not his mind.
Because he has little experience with many cats, though, Duel is very gullible. He's simply too trusting. At the moment, this trustingness isn't that big of a problem, but who knows what will happen in the future, with the Clan cats now moved in?
Duel, while usually active, has a tendency to be lazy when it comes to something he has to do. Sure, he'll go catch mice for the fun of it, but if he's told to do something, he might get lazy and complain about it. He's also a little troublemaker that simply loves to pull pranks, but he doesn't like doing it alone. What fun is it if no one else shares the experience with you? If no one wants to join him, Duel will usually become an annoying little bug until he convinces them or he gets bored.
History: Duel was born into a litter of four, but he doesn't even know who is siblings were. He recalls sleeping with them with his mother, but as soon as they stopped suckling, Duel was taken away to another twolegplace, this one being a very small farm. He was placed in a barn; there, a she-cat named Jenny, who Duel came to look at as his foster mother, taught him how to hunt at the young age of two and a half moons. Of course, he wasn't very good at it, although he improved with time.
Moons later, Jenny had a litter of two kits, fathered by a loner who left soon after she kitted. Duel excitedly watched over them as if he were the kits' father, as young as he was. Soon he was training them both how to hunt. The twolegs soon realized that their little farm didn't need four cats. Jenny was the granddaughter of their first cat, and they couldn't bear to get rid of her, and they felt it was wrong to separate her from her first litter of kits. Duel had shaped both of them up into decent hunters, so the twolegs sold Duel to another larger farm a few miles away.
Duel has only recently arrived at his new farm where he resides with Spots and the other animals. He's been there for two moons, to be exact. But he's had no problem settling in.
Picture: Nope. xD
